Low poly for now. Needs to be reduced in polies especially on the handle.
Blade is the high poly version of the blade. All other are low poly.

such swords were common in all north Europe as it was germanic style spatha, such swords were found in Denmark, Vendel (Sweden) and Norway also. And your kind help will be needed to make vertex and add scabbard to it. As you did with all swords for this OSP.Howard P. Lovecraft said:You will make me put Saxons in my mod.
But yes, low poly for M&B is best.
It is on surface, no need to dig deep https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_Period_sword You have full right to add it to your mod.Howard P. Lovecraft said:Scabbards are easy, don't worry about it. Once we all have those gorgeous models in our hands, scabbards will be the last to think of.
And thanks for the info, I was just looking for an excuse to use this in the mod.

Not the high poly I will be using but one for display.
Looks awesome! If you want a break from swords, you can always try your hand at making some Carolingian concaved shields which I think would be far more correct for everyone to use in the Early Medieval Ages rather than the overrated end of the 10th century ship burial Viking flat round shields.
Yea sure. When I get an estimate on this. I plan to finish this up by the end of the month but I haven't done conventional texturing in months, just poly baking and substance painter.
Howard P. Lovecraft : Thanks. And the scabbard is actually gonna take more effort than the sword.

Messing around with substance

Please do, and I'll love you forever.
Update : I am still working on it guys. I am just trying to figure out how to make the details on the model. I think using zbrush will be a safe bet.
I would imagine Substance Painter being a lot more easier to make small intricate details on the sword than Zbrush. Zbrush seems to be a lot more efficient for stuff that would be extremely organic, and need to protrude. You already have some pretty good and clean high poly shapes done.

Substance Painter has mirrors only in one axis. Zbrush allows mirroring in more than two axis. Hand making a heightmap is more natural to do (I can't make paths and stuff in Painter)to do than trying to make small details via heightmap using Painter. So using a small brush to make engravings in Zbrush is the best bet for stuff like the handle and pommel.

I know. I've made custom ones. If I had to resort to making custom alphas I'll rather just make a heightmap, bake the normal map and other maps from it, use some sp stuff and texture manually but I'll rather just sculpt the engravings. That's just for the handle though. Alphas might be useful for the hilt.
